June 3rd is our final Shabbat Beineinu on the UWS (until September).
RSVP today.
Let's celebrate Shabbat together with friends, great music and delicious food.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Friday evening marks the 35th day of the Counting of the Omer. We are finishing 5 weeks leaving only two until we receive the Torah - the most precious gift and most awesome obligation.
Week five was dedicated to humility. We have been asked to reflect on our capacity to be humble. What are the obstacles that keep me from being humble? Does it separate me from others or bring me closer? We have been given an opportunity, an invitation to imagine our humility being a source for building something lasting.
This 5th quality, part of each of us and (supposedly also part of God) is a tool for building strength between us and others.
Mekor Ha'Chayiim, Source of Life, as we make our way into Shabbat let us take time to reflect on our humility, the things that get in the way of being our best self, and let us share some of that truth with others. Let the truth be pointed back onto us to help us to deepen our humility and ultimately use it to grow.
Shabbat shalom u'mevorach,
Laurie
